1. Turn OFF the power supply to the thruster or the equipment being connected.
2. Fit the receiver in a dry and accessible area (preferably not in the bilge). For mounting,
use the dual lock tape provided. If necessary, you can also use the 2 receiver’s bracket with
2 screws. In case of thruster installation, an ideal location is behind one of its control panels.
3. Connect the receiver to the power supply (12Vdc or 24Vdc)
4. CAUTION: ENSURE THE POLARITIES ARE RESPECTED.
5. Protect the positive supply cable of the receiver by means of a 1A fuse.
6. The receiver already has an integrated protection.
7. To access the outputs of the receiver in order to make the wiring, you must remove with a
cross screwdriver the two screws at the bottom of the box.
8. Connect the 4 outputs of the receiver’s terminal blocks (channels 1, 2, 3 & 4) to the
equipment that is to be operated. In the case of a bow thruster or windlass, see the annexed

10 – WIRING EXAMPLES
9 – ADDING EXTRA TRANSMITERS
To add an extra transmitter, follow the instructions of step 2 (Chapter 7 Set-up instructions)
and congure the additional remote control.
In case of error or doubt concerning the conguration, clear the receiver’s memory (Chapter
8) and start from the beginning.This will require the reconguration of all remote controls.
* Receivers and transmitters are available as individual spare parts. Please contact Lofrans’
customer support at www.lofrans.com for any assistance.
8 – RESETTING
In order to reset all the previous setups, press the learning key button on the receiver board

It means that the existing remote controls are deleted successfully and the reset has now
completed. Turn the receiver’s power supply OFF, wait 5 seconds and then return to step 2
(Chapter 7 Set-up instructions).

Example 1 (g.1):
A thruster and a windlass need to be operated through
the mini remote.
The logic of the conguration is that a product
operates when the circuit is closed. In such a case,
themachineshouldbewiredintothe“NO”terminals
because the machine operates when the button of the
mini remote is pressed.
The voltage supply for operating the load should be
connected on the common terminal.
(g.1)
Example 2 (g.2):
Four products with single commands need to be
operated through the mini remote control.
The logic of the conguration is the same as in the
above example. The products will operate when the
button of the mini remote is pressed.
The voltage supply for operating the load should be
connected at the common terminal.
(g.2)

13
(g.3)
Example 3 (g.3):
Two products with inverse logic are needed to be
operated from the mini remote control. The product
should always operate, and by the pressing the
appropriate button should make the corresponding
output stop working. The voltage supply for operating
the load should be connected at the common terminal.
11 – REPLACING THE BATTERIES
CAUTION: ENSURE THAT THE EQUIPMENT’S POWER SUPPLY IS SWITCHED OFF
BEFORE REPLACING THE BATTERIES IN ORDER TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL ACTIVATION OF
THE EQUIPMENT.
CAUTION: THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION IF A BATTERY IS REPLACED WITH
AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF THE USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THEIR
INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Remove the silicon protection case from the transmitter.
2.Useaatscrewdriverontheedgeoftheremoteonthetopandtwistitinordertoremove
the back part of the transmitter.
3. Remove the battery from the electronic control card.
4. Replace the battery with a new CR2032 battery. Ensure the polarities are correct.
5. Replace the back part of the transmitter and GENTLY TIGHTENTHE CAP while ensuring that
the rubber seal is correctly positioned so that the product remains waterproof.

14
13 – PRECAUTIONS
1. Operate the product only with the recommended voltage and wiring.
2. When the remote control voltage is insucient, please change the battery in time (when
the remote control battery voltage is insucient, the general remote control distance
becomes shorter).
3. When using wireless electronic products, care should be taken to avoid metal masks, large
electronic equipment, electromagnetic elds, etc., which strongly interfere with the remote
control. The RF communication distance of the transmitter and receiver might shorten or not
work properly.
4. Do not use this electronic product abnormally. Abnormal use will reduce the product’s
performance and longevity.
5. In the process of using the product, if you have any questions, please contact us any time.
